Chaturvedi, who was the Guest of Honor at the Conference, was presented with the Award of ‘Father of Flexible Packaging’. Chaturvedi who spoke on the occasion highlighted the role of the flexible packaging industry being the reason for growth of food processing industry globally.
Talking to the audience on the burning topic of waste plastic management, Dr. Sandeep Marwah said, “Waste plastic is not an issue as it is made out to be.

Dr. Sandeep Marwah was honored for his untiring contribution to Government campaigns and being patron to Clean India organization.
